The use of mobile phones whilst driving is prohibited even with hands free.
Seats belts are to be worn by all occupants of the car.

Fuel

Very similar to the UK, all pumps are self service and petrol stations are generally open 24 hours. One thing to consider is that credit cards are not accepted at petrol stations.

Parking

Do not park on double yellow lines at any time and look out for timed parking zones where parking is restricted to one hour. Any fines that are incurred whilst in Malta must be settled before departure.

Speed Limits are 50 kph in built up areas and 80 kph on open roads.
